Verify a decision

Every moderation decision on AVOID.NET is anchored to the Solana blockchain. You don't have to trust us — you can verify cryptographically that we committed to a verdict at a specific moment and have not rewritten it.

How verification works

  1. We commit. When a moderator accepts/rejects a submission, we serialize the decision into deterministic UTF-8 bytes (payload_canonical_string), hash it with SHA-256, encode the digest as base58, and write it to Solana inside an SPL Memo v2 transaction.
  2. We store the bytes. The exact bytes we hashed are stored alongside the decision in our database. Anyone can read them and recompute the hash in any language.
  3. You compare three values. Database hash, your independently-recomputed hash, and the hash inside the on-chain memo. If all three match, the decision is authentic and timestamped.
The on-chain memo format is AVOID.NET|v1|h:<b58-sha256>|d:<id>|t:<iso>

Find a signature on any investigation page's decision log, or run python -m src.verify_decision --signature <sig> for a CLI check.

Three material errors were identified: (1) The October 2024 SpaceX event is twice misidentified as a 'Falcon 9 booster catch test' when it was the Starship IFT-5 Super Heavy booster catch — different vehicle and mechanism; (2) The FTC '$1 billion / 46,000 victims' statistic is misattributed to the May 2021 FTC report when it actually comes from the June 2022 FTC report — the May 2021 report cited $80M across approximately 7,000 people; (3) The Robinhood section heading is dated '(2024)' but the incident occurred in June-July 2025. Two claims — the $3M ETH figure and $412K DOGE figure — are appropriately self-flagged by the page as Tier 3 unverifiable, which is editorially transparent.","score_delta":0,"sequence_num":4,"submission_content_hash":null,"submission_id":null,"submission_kind":null,"submission_valence":null,"v":1}
